SALZMAN, CHARLES W-a member of the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of fame, remained active in his golden years. Mr. Salzman, 73, of Florence, was inducted in the Sports Hall of Fame years ago as a softball player, said his wife, Sylvia Klaene Hinkel Salzman. However, Mr. Salzman, his wife and other seniors enjoyed playing golf every week in Boone County.

He retired from Cincinnati Bell after 42 years of service. He was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church and was a Marine Corps veteran of World War II and the Korean War. Mr. Salzman was born and raised in Campbell County. He served in the South Pacific during World War II and was proud of being a Marine, his wife said.
He was a Notre Dame fan and was a good family man, his wife said. "This was the most caring person God put on this Earth," Mrs. Salzman said.
